MCQ
The equation of the ellipse whose latus rectum is $8$ and whose eccentricity is $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$, referred to the principal axes of coordinates, is
  • A
    $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{18}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{32}} = 1$
  • B
    $\frac{{{x^2}}}{8} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{9} = 1$
  • $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{64}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{32}} = 1$
  • D
    $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{16}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{24}} = 1$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{64}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{32}} = 1$
c
(c) $\frac{{2{b^2}}}{a} = 8,$$e = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

${a^2} = 64,\,{b^2} = 32$

Hence required equation of ellipse is

$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{64}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{32}} = 1$.
